While there are many great retailers, many part of this site, if you're looking for largest selection I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone with more. Delectation of Tomatoes. And a friendly and knowledgeable owner as well!

"4 pages with approx. 100 varieties per page"

As Carol states on her site, she is a one-person seed company. If you need your seeds immediately, you may want to try someplace else. I've ordered from her several times and have never been disappointed.

Not sure how she is legally selling seed ... her website talks about testing done years prior... Germ tests need to be current to sell legally (is she just getting away with ignoring the laws?)

First off, I too think Carol is in compliance. Second she does state that she is having computer issues. And third, I seriously doubt whether she would try to get away with ignoring the laws. I have ordered from Carol several times and always been very pleased. Her seeds germinate very well and she is most generous.

Looks like she just hasn't updated the text. Based on her last few posts here, it looks like she's doing what's required.

A good place to start is Tomato Growers Supply

I agree. I look at their catalog many times a year. The seeds Worth sent me were from 2007 TGS, and they still have a high germination rate.

I have bought one variety of tomato seeds from one online/catalog site. I bought some Suncherry Extra Sweet F1 seeds from Kitazawa...which has less than one catalog page of tomato varieties - I ordered those because our son was buying other stuff from there.

Before I joined Tomatoville, I had no clue about how to grow tomato plants from seeds. Since joining, you all have made sure I have enough tomato seed varieties to grow for the next 30 years or so.

I haven't ordered from Tomato Eden yet, but they seem to be highly regarded. 350 varieties, many rare ones: http://tomatoeden.com/

Agree with Karen...Bought seed from Tania last two years. Been able to grow out and save seed for myself and others. Had issues with one variety whose results on some of the seed were not what Tania described. Tania, sent extra seed with apologies. Great service and always provides advice when requested.

Wow! Didn't realize Tania has that many available. I've also ordered from her several times and even though she's in Canada, orders arrived very quickly.

She is fantastic and maintains her amazing database so many of use use all the time for information about varieties. Pics showing plants, blooms and developing fruit along with whole and sliced ripe really help to know what to expect. Most sites show a pic of a single perfect ripe fruit.
Btw, She also sells other OP vegetable seeds.

Her site says 0.1 gram (about 25-40).
